If you're asking what the meaning of the RESTRICT= options are, they're 
listed in the man page for ebuild(5), including:

test   do not run src_test even if user has FEATURES=test.

which likely means that the package in question has a test suite that is 
known to be broken, on Gentoo or in general.

(Side note: the man page only has one entry for PROPERTIES although eix 
knows of at least 4.  Is there somewhere else this kind of portage 
information is documented?)
